Introduction: Stoves and hobs, essential tools in every kitchen, can easily accumulate grease, grime, and food splatters, making them look dull and dirty. While cleaning these kitchen appliances might seem like a tedious task, there’s a faster and more efficient method to leave them sparkling clean. In this guide, we’ll share a simple yet powerful trick to get your stove and hob looking brand new with minimal effort. Whether you have a gas stove, electric hob, or induction cooktop, this method will work wonders!
Ingredients:
Baking soda
White vinegar
Water
Dish soap (optional)
Microfiber cloth or sponge
Scraper (for stubborn stains)
A bowl (for mixing)
Directions:
Preparation: Ensure the stove or hob is completely cool before starting the cleaning process.
Create the Cleaning Solution: In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons of baking soda with 1/4 cup of water to create a paste. If you want to add extra cleaning power, mix a little dish soap into the paste.
Apply the Paste: Using a sponge or cloth, spread the baking soda paste over the greasy areas of your stove or hob. Focus on areas with heavy grease or burnt-on food.
Let It Sit: Allow the paste to sit on the surface for 10-15 minutes. This will give it time to break down the grime.
Vinegar Treatment: After the paste has had time to work its magic, lightly spray white vinegar over the top. The fizzing action will help lift any remaining dirt and grease.
Wipe Clean: Using a microfiber cloth or a soft sponge, wipe away the paste and vinegar solution. For stubborn stains, use a scraper to gently remove them.
Rinse: Rinse the surface with clean water to remove any remaining residue.
Dry: Finally, wipe the surface dry with a clean cloth to restore its shine.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Clean your stove or hob regularly to prevent a build-up of grease and grime.
For electric or induction hobs, make sure to wipe them down after each cooking session to prevent stains from hardening.
Avoid using harsh abrasives that can scratch the surface, particularly on delicate cooktops like glass or ceramic.
